Everything except your flight to and from India and your spending money. My advice don’t bring much because the shopping in Pushkar and in Raj is outstanding and many of my students end up shipping stuff home and wishing they never brought anything at all:)

Everyone will arrive on the 19th of Sept. I will be at the airport to pick everyone up. We will spend some time in Delhi seeing the sites and some fun night life.

Then we will make our way to Pushkar, this will be our home base and we will spend some time here. You will stay in a nice, clean accommodation (double rooms unless you want a single, then no problem) and eat tasty Ayurvedic food. Pushkar is full of amazing temples, great landscapes, hiking, shopping, yoga, mediation, camel safari, Ayurvedic cooking classes, Welcome Chakra dance party and much, much more!

Pushkar is one of the oldest existing cities of India. It lies on the shore of Pushkar Lake. The date of its actual origin is not known, but legend associates Lord Brahma with its creation.

Pushkar in Sanskrit means blue lotus flower. Hindus believe that the gods released a swan with a lotus in its beak and let it fall on earth where Brahma would perform a grand yagna. The place where the lotus fell was called Pushkar. Pushkar word may be derived from word ‘Pushkarni’means- lake. It may be derived from word Pushpa means flower and Kar means hand.

We will then venture to Udaipur, we will do some site seeing and yoga, shopping, eating interesting food, same at all places,…. there are some great big lakes and palaces to visit and it is breath taking.

Udaipur , also known as the City of Lakes, is a city, a Municipal Corporation and the administrative headquarters of the Udaipur district in the state of Rajasthan in western India.

Apart from its history, culture, and scenic locations, it is also known for its Rajput-era palaces. The Lake Palace, for instance, covers an entire island in the Pichola Lake. Many of the palaces have been converted into luxury hotels. It is often called the “Venice of the East“, and is also nicknamed the “Lake City”.[2][3]Lake Pichola, Fateh Sagar Lake, Udai Sagar and Swaroop Sagar in this city are considered some of the most beautiful lakes in the state.

Then we will travel to the King city of Bundi.,In ancient times, the area around Bundi was apparently inhabited by various local tribes. Bundi and the eponymous princely state are said to derive their names from a former Meena tribe man called Bunda Meena. Bundi was previously called “Bunda-Ka-Nal”, Nal meaning “narrow ways”. Later the region was governed by Rao Deva Hada, who took over Bundi from Jaita Meena in 1342, and established a princely state Bundi, renaming the surrounding area called Hadoti, the land of great HadaRajputs.

We will visit The Taragarh Fort, or ‘Star Fort’ is the most impressive of the city’s structures. It was constructed in AD 1354 upon the top of steep hillside overlooking the city. The largest of its battlements is the 16th century bastion known as the Bhim Burj, on which was once mounted a particularly large cannon called Garbh Gunjam, or ‘Thunder from the Womb’. The fort is a popular tourist viewpoint of the city below. The fort contains three tanks which never dry up. The technique with which they were built has been long since lost but the tanks survive as a testament to the advanced methods of construction and engineering in medieval India.The Bundi Palace is situated on

We will then make our way back to Pushkar for a farewell couple of nights and more, yoga and shopping….isn’t life wonderful.

Back to Delhi or as I have seen over and over again, change your ticket and stay a while. Your always Welcome in India and I will help you make arrangements if you decide to stay for a while.

Rajasthan is a special place and it’s filled with God, Love, culture, great cuisine and the most beautiful landscapes I’ve ever seen, sometimes I sit out side and think….. I am the most luckiest women alive. I hope you will join me, I promise you will never forget India!
